Specification of Letters Patent.

. Patented Aug. 29, 1905.

Application filed March 13, 1905. Serial No. 249,795-

Zo a whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK J ONES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Inkstands, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an inkstand which may be reversed to be used as a single or double well, as when one kind or two kinds of ink are to be used or kept ready for use. It also embraces novel means for opening and closing the Wells, having a cover which will fit on either side of the stand.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a top plan view of the well. Figs. 2 and 8 are vertical sectional views on the lines 22 and 3 8, respectively.

The stand may be cast, molded, or otherwise produced in glass or metal. It comprises an outer cylindrical casing A, having ends a, which are located at a slight distance inside the ends of the cylinder, leaving projecting edges I) at both ends of the cylinder. The ends a each have wells formed therein, as indicated at E and E.

In one end there whether it is desired to keep one or two kinds,

of ink ready for use.

The cover B has openings C, which may be registered with any of the wells. The cover has on the under side a circular groove, in which the edges bof the stand fit. This permits the cover B to be turned to open or close the well, and, as will be seen, it will fit on either end of the stand.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A reversible inkstand having a well in each end, and an outer casing both ends of which are of the same size and shape, and a cover fitting either end and having an opening which may be registered with either well.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

FRANK JONES. Witnesses:
